There’s an all-too-brief little window between April and mid-May when the weather is largely our friend (barring occasional thunderstorms), encouraging us to emerge from behind closed doors and rejoice before it tries to kill us again in a few weeks. That’s why you’ve gotta have something pretty special going on to keep our butts numbing in seats, away from the great outdoors this time of year. We make an exception every spring for the Dallas International Film Festival — we’ll gladly park it in a windowless theater for hours at a stretch for this annual festival, expertly curated by creative director James Faust. This year, the 10-day cinematic campout kicks off with a screening of I’ll See You In My Dreams, writer-director Brett Haley’s sweet dramedy starring Blythe Danner. The Sundance hit, which upends the conventional wisdom that there are no good roles for women over a certain age, will be preceded by a star-studded red carpet at the Majestic Theatre, 1925 Elm St., and is followed by a gala presentation featuring Danner herself. The film screens at 7 p.m. Thursday; tickets are $50 for the screening and $95 for the screening and gala. Visit dallasfilm.org.
